It's only taken a 90..... and is just where the Seaport is headed still.
Too many high end restaurants and over priced drink places. Nothing wrong with those, but they need to be tempered by more middle of the road fair, but it's definitely moving in the right direction as compared to where it was. Also, much like the Seaport/Fort Point area, Kendall could easily support a handful more of lunch options as evidenced by the sick length of lines everyday. It's the total lack of after work people that keep this from happening.
I would hope, with the much blanker palette it started with, that the Seaport could solve some of these issues quicker, but the jury is still out.
The areas are very good for comparison, and the Seaport should be looking at both the successes and failures at Kendall, not just the successes.
